Club career

Himbert was born in Saint-Avold, in the Moselle department. Himbert is a product of the youth academies of the French clubs Étoile Naborienne and Thionville Lusitanos, before joining Lyon on 21 March 2023, on a 3-year contract.

He trained with their senior team in the preseason of 2025, and was promoted to Lyon's reserves for the 2025–26 season. He made his senior and professional debut with Lyon as a substitute in a 2–1 Ligue 1 win over Brest on 18 January 2026. On 29 January 2026, Himbert made his first start for the first team in the UEFA Europa League against PAOK Salonika at the Groupama Stadium. During that match, he scored his first professional goal, equalizing for Lyon in the first half. With that goal, scored at the age of 17 years and 334 days, Himbert became the youngest goalscorer in Olympique Lyonnais’ history in European competitions, surpassing the previous record held by Karim Benzema.

Himbert was called up to the France U17s for the 2025 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. A couple of months later, he also appeared for the U17s at the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
